A while back I posted about how I'm writing a decently successful serial novel, and I still am, and it's going well. But I'm always looking for ways to boost my ~metrics~, and TopWebFiction is fairly successful at driving traffic.

https://topwebfiction.com/listings/an-outcast-in-another-world-subtitle-is-insanity-a-racial-trait/

All you have to do is click 'Boost' and it pushes me up the leaderboard. I'm currently at #9 and not many people actually bother to vote despite the site being pretty well-known, so every bit counts!

I would reason that South Park had a bigger influence on our generation's political views than literally any other show. People severely underestimate how effective of a vector comedy is towards changing people's minds; it's usually more effective than serious attempts at discourse. South Park was very funny, and it used that knack for comedy to consistently push right-wing views.

You brushed it off. Millions didn't. Especially impressionable kids without a fully-formed political compass.

Making fun of Al Gore being scared of a ridiculous boogeyman that doesn't exist is 100% disputing the existence of climate change. There's not a single interpretation of the episode where that isn't the case. Climate Change was a bigger topic in that episode than Al Gore was.

Reversing their stance 12 years later doesn't mean shit. The damage is already done. No one they influenced towards the right-wing in the past is going to change their tune now.

Don't remember the Caitlyn Jenner bits so I won't comment on it.

I agree with KP's South Park take and I think it was always the case, but I don't really have the energy right now to write my anti-South Park manifesto, sorry

The short version is that I used to love the show but as I've grown older I've realized that almost all of South Park's takes are shitty, some of them catastrophically so (climate change, trans people, anti-semitism), and I've realized that it's contributed to a lot of the toxicity of modern internet chuddery
Pretty much yeah

Every time I think about ME3, I forget Kai Leng exists. Consciously, at least. I subconciously remember how he affected my engagement of the story but manage to suppress his actual existence for the sake of my sanity.

That's probably my biggest issue with ME2 - it's extremely uneven. The same game having Tuchanka and Kai Leng is crazy to me.

Also the Berserk manga has literally the best manga art ever. Not as much in the beginning (although it's still very good, especially the Eclipse, holy shit), but the art continuously improves. A lot of pages in second half of Berserk could make a good painting to hang on your wall.

And I don't know if it has affected my enjoyment of media itself, more that it's given me a more cynical/realistic view of those who create it or participate in it. I just remind myself that I don't actually know these people and I shouldn't project my wishes of who I hope they are onto them so it's not as devastating when it's revealed they did something reprehensible. There's probably at least one person on any given project who's done something or is doing something vile. I just don't know about it yet.
I wasn't actually referring to the people involved in creating the media, although that's a factor sometimes. I was referring to the actual plots and stories.

As an example: of zombie movies feel totally different to me. Of course people would act like irrational idiots during an outbreak. In fact, those movies need to add more characters that refuse to take the cure because of potential side effects.

I also find it a bit harder to get into stories that glorify the police, especially loose cannon cops that don't play by the rules and get away with it. It's not that big of a deal as those stories tend to have objectively evil villains, but it can sometimes leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Stories where society at large acts absurd no longer feel like bad writing. Yeah, Lex Luthor would totally be elected President, and people will constantly vote against their own interests and willingly be gaslighted. These plots already worked if they were executed well, but now even the ones where I would go "come on, that's going so far it's comical" seem completely legit.

an absolute trainwreck, my mouth was slightly agape the whole time at how shamelessly it presented itself as marketing nonsense curated by a board of directors that will all someday roast in the bottom layers of hell. an achievement in filmmaking if I have ever seen one

i unironically derived more enjoyment out of watching this trash fire than black widow which I fell asleep during. space jam 2 commanded my attention like i was alex in a clockwork orange (an appropriate analogy i believe)

In order to minimize the number of haters, it has to be someone who:

* Well liked, not obscure or niche
* Video game character
* Japanese
* Not a sword user
* Not a fighting game character
* Not a 'waifu'
* Not already a common player in the Smash culture war
* Not already deconfirmed
The only characters who I can really think of who fit this criteria are one of the RE protags (Jill, Chris, Leon) or Black Mage. The list is getting really small at this point!
I don't think it necessarily has to follow every rule. Sephiroth was the 2nd-most accepted Smash DLC pick outside of Banjo, just because he's Sephiroth.

there is a right answer.

Its Goku. Anyone who complains about Goku is the same who would have complained for Cloud or Sonic, legitimately just doing it to be contrary. You go out with one of the most famous characters period in all of fiction, no one is complaining.
Most of the polls I've seen on message boards have the majority of people not wanting Goku in. Are they everyone? No. But there's a large contingent of people out there that only want video game characters in Smash, and that alone DQs Goku from being the best consensus pick.

Dante got shit on all the time because people hate Bayonetta, and they keep calling him Male Bayonetta.

Crash is one of the most hated because people call him "Banjo without the bird" and Banjo is already one of the lowest scoring DLC characters in most polls ( I honestly have no idea why people hate Banjo these days...I thought he was pretty harmless before he entered Smash).
Yeah neither of these are true. I frequent Smash forums/reddits way too much and have seen comments along these lines maybe once or twice over the span of years

Banjo is relatively disliked now because of his gameplay, not the character itself
